The Yeah Yeah Yeahs never had a plan; things just worked out for them. The trio arrived in the exact right place at the exact right time to create a deafening hype-storm, but the three musicians at its center never seemed to be contriving that hype-storm. The skronky, horny garage rock of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ self-titled debut EP simply took the sounds that were floating in the ether at the time, compressed them into brief and deadly little riff-monsters, and hit the world at a moment when three New York barfly scene kids could seem like the coolest human beings on earth. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs helped influence a certain enduring version of Brooklyn cool, and then they capitalized on that version, but they never stuck to it. They kept moving.
